WHY ARE they still making films based on video games? Has nobody learned from Kylie Minogue’s Street Fighter, Bob Hoskins’s Super Mario Bros or Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed?

Clearly not, because Tomb Raider isn’t just a video game movie it’s a reboot of a video game movie.

The original, while critically reviled, at least had a hot pants-clad Angelina Jolie on its side – an image that persuaded enough adolescent gamers to lay down their joysticks and bravely venture out to their local multiplex.

But this is 2018 and such cynical, unenlightened, marketing moves have gone the way of the Commodore 64.

So now we’ve got a modestly attired Oscar-winner in Alicia Vikander hunting treasure on a remote Japanese island as English archeologist Lara Croft.
